The rules in France are probably different but passing on the right is legal on Italian highways, in one circumstance: if one keeps driving on the lane on the right and somebody slower happens to be driving on the lane on the left. The rati

But normal people only have a handful of HPs and don't last long when wounded in a foot battle with enemies all around and nowhere to shelter. Historical evidence demonstrates that those short swords served Romans well.

Well, if we look at the flow of most of internet traffic we don't have highways (I'm thinking about the USA East/West North/South highway matrix). Instead we have roads that go straight from suburbs to a few big city cen

As for everything else: trust, possibly enhanced by the fear of consequences for the other party. How do we know if random internet service sells our email / password pair? They probably store the hashed password because it's easi

I remember Safari for Windows. It had a Mac chrome that was extremely weird to look at on Windows XP. It did work but Apple killed it after a short while, maybe because they decided that after all the iPhone was not going to use web apps Ap

All iOS and Android developers I know don't write app that they sell themselves. They work for customers that more often than not give away their apps for free because they make money from the service the app gives access to. And they

Probably Elixir spoiled me but when I see enum Shape { case Circle(Int32), case Square(Int32), case Rectangle(Int32, Int32) } def area(s: Shape): Int32 = match s { case Circle(r) => 3 * (r * r) case Squa

You write about mitigations and I'm afraid that you are correct. Can any method be more than just a mitigation? When we give read access to something to somebody we can expect that only loyalty (or fear, or... but let's stick with

Yes, I'll always remember the long time spent asking for the whereabouts of Ocean Drive, mispronounced by me because the correct pronunciation would require the word to be written as Oshean or maybe Oshan. It was 1995. I have had very

Maybe, but the UX is so terrible that I never figured out how to use uBO to replace uMatrix. I always use both: uBO for ads and DOM elements filtering and uMatrix for JavaScript, frames, cookies, anything in the columns of its UI. Basically

I defend against that scenario by letting my password manager generate a different random password for every site. It defends also against sites handling passwords in terribly wrong ways, hacks, leaks, etc.

In my case it was 3 weeks of work on Java redone in 3 days of Rails without even knowing Ruby yet. Hibernate could have been wonderful (I don't have fond memories of it) but AR was much much better to use.

A short word like "that" is read at once, especially because it's common. So no need to backtrack. A less common word like "phoenitic" or "subvocalizing" is read as you say. However by the end of the sente

You keep a diesel locomotive at hand. They probably need one to move along the track to do repairs. Not sure if it's got enough HPs to move ore back, but anyway, why should they want to put ore back into the mine? Sending equipment yes

Of course it lacked the mark on the anticommunism checkbox, but control of society and control of economy were checked. That's 50% of the fascist playbook. There was probably some nationalism too. Stalin buried internatonalism quickly.
